Your whole life you’d wanted to be a fashion designer. You always imagined yourself with the freedom to design whatever you wanted! You never thought Uncle Sam would become your boss. You received a letter in the Post and a visit from a ration office who told you that Leather belts could not be made thicker than 1.5 inches, that the cuffs of shirt sleeves and skirts also could not exceed 2 inches. At first you were upset but you understood the need for our soldiers to be outfitted for the cold German winter ahead.
